We've got six songs here, let's get it down to one or two.

I'd forgotten how much I like Playing Your Song.

Somehow all four of the ones I want to vote for are in this section and none made it to the other the b section. Ah, well.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Crass and Interrupters it is.

That Crass song is great - the album, Penis Envy, is still one of the great female-fronted punk albums of the genre and the lyrics are sharp and biting. Crass lets there be a bit more space in this song that some of their others, and it really brings the singing and lyrics into relief, which is great. Despite a lot of visually aesthetic imitators, this song is a great example of how Crass was really in a world of their own. Accept no substitutes or imitators.

And the Interrupters obviously I've made the case for before.

Yeah I always preferred when the ladies sang in Crass.

Voted for Au Pairs and Crass. First time hearing the Crass, this was really good.
